I could not log onto the site due to couldflare error's (522?). Pressing F5 doesn't help then either. Usually I can log back on after a few minutes. Total downtime I noticed is maybe just a few minutes as I use the site maybe a few hours a day. I did notice that the site works better (less error's) on my mobile i.e. on pc it's down, but works on my mobile (android 4.1.2 and 4.3 on my tablet)

too bad we had 2 stale blocks now... even with the prepaid perk, you get nothing.

Sometimes stale work would have created a block. I think BitMinter is the only pool that shows those "could have been" blocks. Maybe it's better to remove that, as it just has a negative psychological effect.

The webserver is sometimes slowed down, causing Cloudflare to determine that the site is down. I'm looking into this.

I just put in a small update for the website, it should take care of the live hashrates not recovering after network issues.

What I am working on for the next updates:

Idle worker notifications are working but need a web interface to activate it. You can send a request using the contact page on the website if you need this sooner and I can set it up for you manually. Same thing goes for if you want less then 20 work submits per minute as your difficulty target. In the future I will even out the hashrate measurements a bit more. Currently you should have the threshold 30% or so below normal to avoid false positives. You also get one email for each worker if several go up or down. In the future I'll have it put info about more than one worker in a single email.

Sometimes the website gets slowed down causing Cloudflare to believe it is offline. I'm looking for the cause of this.

BitMinter client runs fine on BFL 5 GH/s units but with unstable hashrate on singles and minirigs. If you are having problems with this, please come to the chat/IRC for help with setting up another mining client while I work on this issue. That's #bitminter on freenode with a regular IRC client, or go through the chat page under "community" -> "chat" on the BitMinter website for an easy to use web version.
